Esquire interview

When I married Frank Sinatra, my father had recently died, and he had just turned fifty, and people said, Oh, you’re looking for a father. It’s hard for me to, um, deny or confirm. But what I will tell you is that he was the coolest, handsomest, sexiest guy. I don’t think there are many women of any age who could have resisted him. He was utterly charming. Absolutely adorable. So you can talk father all you like — he wasn’t anything like my father.
